Beyoncé 1998 RARE interview with Destiny's Child original members

[@EtalkCTV]

Check out our new video breaking down Beyoncé's musical evolution here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6u0l5WNic2cmas

[@SoSillyWilly26]

I know for some people it’s all about Beyonce, but for those of us around from the beginning, it was something so special and unique about the 4 of them. It was like a teen version of EnVogue and there hadn’t really been a teen black female group with such strong harmonies and vocals. All four of them deserve to be recognized for the work they put in during those early days.

[@3BuckHead]

Thank you! DC4 was something special!

[@starbutterfly4147]

@@professorx5020 I don’t want a reunion because the way how destiny child fans act so bitter towards Beyoncé for becoming the superstar she is I think bey should never look back she doesn’t need them a reunion wouldn’t benefit her at all she makes more on her own.

She arranged that acapella so fast. Been a vocal talent.

[@ilovetati91]

That was an established harmony

[@COSMICCFREQUENCY144]

@ umm they’re not talking about the harmony. They’re talking about the VOCAL ARRANGEMENT. A harmony is how the voices blend. They’re speaking about Beyoncé creating the vocal arrangements, meaning the stylistic choice of singing the song (vowel placements, singing style) on spot.

[@80babymusicfiend]

You can tell how focused and in control Beyonce was at such a young age. Look how into the composition and the prep she is that she sort of tunes the interviewer out. This woman just has a knack for music. I think all the members of DC respect her as a lead vocalist because she has made them all better singers.

[@jadaony4145]

Beyoncé sooooo beautiful and just a star 😍 Her longevity and perseverance is even more admirable seeing this throwback. Just killed the Christmas NFL show 🔥 From a member of one of the most successful girl groups to having a solo career and legacy that surpasses and still building 🙌🏽

Letoya was my favorite in the group when I was younger. Thought her eyes were so beautiful. DC4 and DC3 were both amazing chapters but DC4 really put the Houston sound, sex appeal, and dialect on the R&B map in the 90s while the ATL groups were owning the scene. They are culturally important. I’m glad Letoya had an amazing career after. Love her style. These videos bring back memories in a more exciting time in music. While you still could witness greatness unfold before your eyes.

[@MusicShaddyRaddy]

Letoya shocked everyone when she came out with "Torn". She had the looks and charisma, once she took off, she took off!
